In Viscera Cleanup Detail, you step into the boots of a space-station janitor tasked with cleaning up after various horrific sci-fi horror events. Instead of machineguns and plasma-rifles, your tools are a mop and bucket. That hero left a mess, and it's up to you to deal with the aftermath.

What the developers have to say:

“So you've elected to support development of Viscera Cleanup Detail by getting the Early Access build, great! There are a few things to keep in mind however, as we continue development, fix bugs, add content and polish it all up.

It's still in development, so it has issues, especially regarding network.

You might want to think twice about buying this now if you're looking for a polished product. However, if you want to support us and provide feedback for the game's development, we'd be super grateful!

The price will increase as it gets closer to the finished game.

Everything is subject to change; your favourite feature could be eradicated.

As we proceed with development, the major improvements you will see will be relating to new and improved maps, bug fixes and polish. New content will primarily be focused on creating interesting environments for our players to experience.

And on a final note, mod support will be coming very soon! So you'll be able to craft your own space-station massacres; hooray!”

Another batch of fixes and such this week. Much effort has been going into the achievements and getting them to behave better (a lot of the problems appear to stem from how Unreal handles level transitions). At any rate, read on for the full list of changes!

Maps:

Increased the strength and improved the appearance of bullet holes in Caduceus, Paintenance, Waste Disposal and Athena's Wrath.

Greatly improved the disposal-hatch in the Janitor Office.

Greatly improved Waste Disposal water stairs.

Game:

Added new character textures.

Added some tweaked head meshes for Janitors.

Added several more news ticker articles.

Added two new Vending Machine spam notes.

Fixed physics issue causing some bodies to start out oddly twisted in network; no more Lovecraftian Horrors.

Fixed an error causing Speedrun games to not award level specific Completion achievements.

Fixed Clean Freak achievement being falsely awarded upon entering the Office after completing a level.

Fixed Server hosts not receiving level completion achievements.

Fixed client Janitors having wrong player skin when punching out to the office.

Fixed locked door consoles in levels playing the "Locked" sound twice on clients.

Changed the "Lock Punchout Machine" setting so that it's now also possible to allow any player to initiate a punch-out.

UI:

Fixed localization string issue on Punchout report forms screen.

And that's that for now! Still hoping to get multiplayer stuff improved, but it is not an easy affair.
In other news, we're just about content complete now. The final map is taking shape and will hopefully be in the next update along with more fixes.

Reviews

“You know what I really love about violence? Dealing with the consequences! That’s why I’m so excited to see that Viscera Cleanup Detail, the space station janitor simulation, is now available on Steam Early Access.”
PCGamer

“By setting its mundane stall in the days after events that would be taken oh-so-seriously in another game, Viscera Cleanup Detail manages to be morbidly hilarious without ever telling a single joke.”

About This Game

Disaster! An alien invasion and subsequent infestation have decimated this facility. Many lives were lost, the facility was ruined and the aliens were unstoppable. All hope was lost until one survivor found the courage to fight back and put the aliens in their place!
It was a long and horrific battle as the survivor duelled with all manner of terrifying life-forms and alien mutations, but our hero won out in the end and destroyed the alien menace! Humanity was saved!

Unfortunately, the alien infestation and the heroic efforts of the courageous survivors have left rather a mess throughout the facility. As the janitor, it is your duty to get this place cleaned up.
So grab your mop and roll up your sleeves, this is gonna be one messy job.
Today, you're on Viscera Cleanup Detail!

Key Features

Janitorial Simulation - Step into the boots of a space-station sanitation technician and deal with the horrific aftermath of a sci-fi horror event. Blood, viscera, spent cartridges, worker bodies and other messes litter the facilities.

Clean - It's your job to clean up the mess, so clean it up you shall! Use your trusty mop, gloves, dispenser machines, plasma laser and sniffer tool to help you get all that blood out of the floor and off the ceiling! You can even try and punch-out if you think you've done your job.

Sandbox Gameplay - Don't want to clean? Just want to make more of a mess and play around with the physics? Go ahead! You can save your game as well; that's kind of us!

Multiplayer - Note: MP is still being worked out and may have issues still.You can even enlist some friends/coworkers to come and help you clean up (or make even more mess).

I find it strange that this is one of the most entertaining games I have played all year. You act as a janitor in a gory, doom-like level, cleaning all the blood, gibs, etc. from the area. The multiplayer is nothing like I have ever seen. Coop is the best community I have found in an online coop game. This game could really go places, if only it had more players and dedicated servers.

The game's great, honestly. Y'know how in a lot of FPS games you go around and kill everything, disregarding the aftermath?

This is the aftermath: Hours of cleaning up blood, body parts, and even the bullet casings. It's still getting updates, so that's a plus. Only complaint I have, as of writing, is that sometimes the physics are wonky when you stuff a crate with bits and pieces of corpses.
